STRATEGY
Community banking represents an attractive and undervalued asset class, which is difficult
for professional investors to access due to liquidity and regulatory constraints. There are
6,600 banks in the United States with over $15 trillion in assets. 6,400 are community
banks with assets under $3 billion. Non-bank financial companies are a growing provider
of credit and other financial services with over $1.4 trillion in loan receivables.
FUND INVESTMENT THESIS
- The value of smaller community banks is impaired versus that of larger banks.
- Community banks have unrealized value that can be captured through organic growth
and consolidation.
- Small and medium sized specialized finance companies are filling the void left by banks,
particularly as it relates to niche products and underserved markets.
THE FUND IS A CATALYST TO REALIZE THE VALUE POTENTIAL IN FINANCIAL SERVICES
BY PROVIDING:
- Capital
- Tactical operational guidance
- M&A/capital markets advice
via a proprietary investment screening process, disciplined due diligence, and the
promotion of value creation actions.
INVESTMENTS
We make investments, typically between $4 million and $15 million per investment. We
have developed and are advocates for a set of principles for high performing community
banks and non-bank financial services companies. We believe in meaningful equity-based
incentives for the management of our portfolio companies. We seek growth and special
situation opportunities.
